Twilight Of Idols And Anti-Christ Av Friedrich Nietzsche

<b>"One must be superior to mankind in force, in loftiness of soul—in contempt"</b><br><br>In these two devastating works, Nietzsche offers a sustained and often vitriolic attack on the morality and the beliefs of his time, in particular those of Hegel, Kant and Schopenhaur. <i>Twilight of the Idols</i> is a "grand declaration of war" on reason, psychology and theology that combines highly charged personal attacks on his contemporaries with a lightning tour of his own philosophy. It also paves the way for <i>The Anti-Christ</i>, Nietzche’s final assault on institutional Christianity, in which he identifies himself with the "Dionysian" artist and confronts Christ; the only opponent he feels worthy of him.<br><br>In his introduction, Michael Tanner discussed the themes of Nietzche’s argument and places the works in their historical and philosophical context.
